Here's a current shot of Comet Schwassmann-Wachmann 1, which has been in 'outburst' recently. It looks a bit like Holmes did, as it has an expanding shell. The image was taken at about midnight on 20/2/10, is linear and results from 19 x 15" + 1 x 30" stacked light frames at f/3 ish on the 20". It is currently about 11th magnitude in W Leo.
